9 Downloading Files from Computer to Memory Card
The DigiFrame 1550 requires you to insert a memory card with
photo, music or video files on it. You can store photo, movie and
music files on the same card.
1. Download the files from your digital camera or memory card
to your computer.
If you download pictures directly from your digital camera
to your computer, connect the camera to the computer via
a USB port.
If you download the files from a memory card, insert the
memory card into a card reader which is connected to the
computer via a USB port. (On computers with a built-in
card reader, an external card reader is not required.)
2. When the files you want to view or listen to are downloaded
onto your computer, select the files of your choice to be
transferred to an empty memory card for the frame.
3. Insert an empty memory card into the card reader.
4. Copy all files of your choice to this memory card.
5. After copying, remove the memory card from the card reader
and insert it into the proper slot on the frame.
6. Now you can view photos in slideshow, listen to music, or
view videos using the remote control.
10 Playing a Slideshow with Music
First press the MUSIC button on the remote control to enter the
music database. Use the arrow buttons to select the desired
music file.
While the music is playing, press the SLIDESHOW button.
The frame now plays the slideshow while playing the MP3 file as
background music.

DigiFrame 1550 Operating Instructions 11
11 File names
You can simply name the files Slide 1, Slide 2 etc. or use a
similar format.
For the file list, the DigiFrame 1550 reads the files in
alphanumerical order.
12 Folders in Your Memory Cards
When the memory card contains folders, automatic slideshow
does not start unless the photos are outside the folders. If you
have multiple folders, you have to choose a folder with the
remote control and choose a picture in the folder to start the
slideshow.
If you have multiple folders, the slideshow does not switch
automatically to the next folder. You have to choose a picture in
the respective folder with the remote control to start the desired
slideshow.
To play slideshows in multiple folders without using the remote
control, you have to store the slides in the same folder.
13 Displaying Photos
The photos fit the screen unless a significantly low resolution is
used. By default, portrait photos will be displayed in portrait format,
and landscape photos in landscape. If you want to show all
photos in a specific format, you can use the remote control to
rotate the pictures first before playing the slideshow.
Portrait and landscape pictures fit the screen when shown in their
original format. If, however, portrait pictures are shown in
landscape format, the frame will show black lines on the left and
right side of the photo. The photo will be resized to fit the screen
horizontally. The same applies to landscape photos rotated to
portrait.
